The given Assertion is incorrect because it states that acromegaly is caused by hyposecretion of growth hormone (GH), whereas acromegaly is caused by hypersecretion of GH.

The given Reason is partly correct because acromegaly can occur due to a tumor in the pituitary gland, which leads to excess secretion of GH.
